THE INTERBUS SINGLE-TURN & GEARED SINGLE-TURN 
SLAVE NETWORK RESOLVER
 

Variety of Outputs
The InterBus Network Resolver is available with Binary, Gray Code, or BCD absolute position output formats.

Power Supply
An existing power supply can be used to power the InterBus Network Resolver. That is, if a PLC operates at 24 VDC, a 16-32 VDC Network Resolver model can be connected to the same power supply, thus cutting the system cost.

Flexible Programming of Counts-Per-Turn
The advanced R-to-D converter used in the InterBus Network Resolver has made it possible to program any number of scaled Binary, BCD, or Gray Code counts-per-revolution. The default encoding format is set to 10-bit Gray Code.

Bus Isolation
This unit is equipped with optical isolation between the InterBus input port and the InterBus output port.

INTERBUS NETWORK RESOLVER

The InterBus is a fieldbus designed for high-speed data transfers at the sensor actuator level. At this level, InterBus controllers (e.g., PLCs, PCs, etc.) exchange data with their field devices (1/0, drives, valves, resolvers, etc.) via a high-speed RS­422A serial link.

RS-422A transmission is the transmission technology used by InterBus, and it is very easy to handle. Installation of the twisted-pair cable does not require expert knowledge. The repeater bus structure permits easy addition and removal of end stations on the network.

 

The unit is designed to be a single-turn digital resolver residing on an InterBus network. It's configured to look like one 16-bit output word and one 16-bit input word to the network. Four bits of the output word select the encoding format and scale factor of the resolver. The other 12 bits of the output word are unused. 10 or 12 bits of the input word arc used for the encoded position data. The unused bits of the input word are always zero.

The unit's position data can be encoded in three different data formats. For each data format there is a choice for maximum counts-per-revolution. Following are the possible data encoding format choices:

  • Binary:  1024, 4096

  • BCD:  360, 1000, 3600

  • Gray Code:  256, 512, 1024, 4096

Data exchange commands must be initiated from the InterBus controller. Output encoding data is sent from a controller as a 2-byte output word (16 bits). Byte N is the most significant 8 bits of the data word. Byte N+ I is the least significant 8 bits of the data word. Input position data is returned to an InterBus controller from the InterBus Network Resolver as a 2-byte input word (16 bits). Byte N is the most significant 8 bits of the data word. Byte N+ I is the least significant 8 bits of the data word.

Note. The number of position data bits returned is a function of the data format and the maximum counts per revolution of the resolver.
